Peet's Coffee Subscription vs Volcanica Coffee Club

The cheapest coffee per kilo of any subscription here, priced honestly by the pound

Scores higher on choice & personalisation.

A flat monthly rate for three or six coffees, with shipping and oat milk included

Scores higher on cost per bag, and per kilo, freshness & roast dates, what actually arrives.

• +$43.98 a kilo on the Signature Blend Series, which is the cheapest coffee per kilo in this comparison by a wide margin.
• +Priced by the pound on the page, so the per-kilo figure is published rather than derived from an assumed bag size.
• +Free shipping on every subscription, with no bundle or spend threshold.
• +Eight curated series including single origin, cold brew and a dedicated decaf series, or build your own from individual coffees.
• +Reschedule or cancel at any time, and grind, quantity and frequency are all chosen at signup.

• −No roasted-to-order claim is made, unlike Trade, Misto, Intelligentsia and Origin.
• −No specialty-grade claim on the subscriptions page, and no direct trade or certification statement.
• −One roaster, so there is no discovery beyond Peet's own range.
• −No money-back guarantee is stated.
• −The 30% new-subscriber discount makes the first orders much cheaper than the ongoing price, which is the number to plan around.

• +$12.67 a coffee on the three-count box, about $56 a kilo, cheaper per kilo than Trade or Blue Bottle.
• +Coffee is roasted fresh before each shipment, stated on the Coffee Club page.
• +Pause or cancel your membership anytime, and skip a delivery, from Volcanica's own pages.
• +Free shipping on every box, against a $60 threshold or a $6.95 flat rate on ordinary orders.
• +Twenty coffees to mix and match each month, plus oat milk with every order and 20% off the first subscription order.

• −Each coffee is an 8 oz box, smaller than the 12 oz bag most roasters sell, so the per-bag price flatters it.
• −One roaster, so the twenty coffees are all Volcanica's own.
• −A flat rate means a cheap coffee and an expensive one cost you the same, which suits the roaster more than the buyer.
• −No number of days between roasting and despatch is given.
